Warning: Before installing your MAX TNT unit, be sure to read the safety instructions in the
Edge Access Safety and Compliance Guide. Also read Appendix C, “Safety-Related Electrical,
Physical, and Environmental Information” in this hardware installation guide for information
specific to your product.
Guidelines for installing units in a rack or cabinet
Keep the following information in mind when installing MAX TNT units in a rack or cabinet:
•You must install an exhaust shield on the exhaust side of each MAX TNT unit to ensure
that hot air from one unit is not being blown into adjacent units. The exhaust side is on the
left as viewed from the front of the unit. See “Installing a MAX TNT exhaust shield” on
page 3-6.
•Do not concern yourself with air gaps between MAX TNT shelves on a rack, because the
unit’s fans sufficiently cool each shelf.
MAX TNT Hardware Installation Gulide 3-1
Installing a MAX TNT Chassis
Rack-mounting a MAX TNT unit
•Racks with open sides are recommended because the MAX TNT fans vent on the side of
the unit.
•Ensure adequate cooling in the room.
–The maximum recommended ambient temperature for MAX TNT models is 104°
Fahrenheit (40° Celsius). Take care to allow sufficient air circulation or space
between units when a MAX TNT unit is installed in a closed or multirack assembly,
because the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment might be greater
than room ambient temperatures.
–In enclosed racks, make sure that openings exist in the floor underneath each cabinet
to allow the air conditioning up into the cabinet.
–Exhaust fans at the top of the cabinet are recommended but not required. At a
minimum, the cabinets must be ventilated at the top.
Rack-mounting a MAX TNT unit
Before installing the unit in a rack, you must install the rack ears as illustrated in Figure 3-1.
Rack ears are normally shipped with your unit. If you did not receive them, contact your
Lucent reseller. Apply 7 to 8 inch-pounds (0.8 to 0.9 joules) of torque to each screw.

Installing or replacing high-output power supplies
Installing or replacing high-output power supplies
If you have purchased a new MAX TNT unit, it includes high-output power supplies. If you
have an older unit and want to install Series56 II or Series56 III Digital Modem cards or
MultiDSP cards, you might need to replace the existing power supplies with high-output
power supplies.
!
Caution: Read this section in its entirety before installing Series56 II or Series56 III Digital
Modem cards or high-output power supplies. Improper installation of the power supplies can
damage the unit.
Before you begin
Before installing the high-output power supply, consider the following:
•The high-output power supply cannot be hot-swapped with existing power supplies. You
must power down the unit to replace the power supplies.
•The high-output power supply cannot be used in redundant configurations with existing
power supplies. Attempting to mix and match different power supplies will invalidate
associated warranties.
•The high-output power supply is 100% plug-in compatible with the existing MAX TNT
power supplies. However, because the high-output power supply is not compatible with
the old power supply, new power supplies must be installed in pairs.
•The capacitor card installed bene ath the power su pplies of ol der MAX TNT units pr ovides
redundancy to existing power supplies. Although this card is not used for the high-output
power supplies, it must be left in place when installing a high-output power supply to
direct the airflow and help cool the unit. New MAX TNT units contain a plate in this space
to reduce EMI.
Identifying the high-output power supply
New MAX TNT units have the hig h-output pow er supplies pr einstalle d. Figure 3-5 shows how
to identify the new high-out put ac pow er supply an d Figure3-6 shows how to identify the new
high-output dc power supply.

7If you have a redundant power supply, repeat step 2 through step 6 for the remaining
power supply.
Connecting the MAX TNT ac power supply
T o connect the ac power supply , plug the power cord into the power supply socket. Plugging in
the unit’s power supply also applies power to the unit.
Warning: Models with ac power inputs are intended for use with a three-wire grounding type
plug (a plug that has a grounding pin). This is a safety feature. Equ ipmen t groun ding is vita l to
ensure safe operation. Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding type plug by modifying the
plug or using an adapter.
Connecting the MAX TNT dc power supply
The MAX TNT dc power supply requires three inputs: -48Vdc, return (-48Vdc return), and
earth/chassis ground. The -48V and return inputs are isolated from ground.
Solid copper wire (14 AWG or 2.5mm²) must be used to connect the power supply terminal
block ground to the facility’s ground. If the MAX TNT unit is fed from an isolated s upply, you
must supply a solid gro und to eart h via copper r ods. This ground must have a res istan ce of les s
than 5 ohms.
A single drop to all MAX TNT units on one rack is acceptable. Figure 3-11 shows an example

Connecting a MAX TNT u nit to the LAN
All MAX TNT systems have an Ethernet port on the shelf controller. This Ethernet port is
designed primarily for out-of-band management over the network and is not intended to
support heavy traffic loads. If your MAX TNT will be rou ting heavy Ether net traf fic, install an
Ethernet card and route this traffic through one or more of the ports on that card.
If you do not need a LAN interface, skip this section and proceed to “Connecting a workstation
to the serial port” on page 3-11.
To connect the unit to your LAN, plug an Ethernet LAN cable into one of the unit’s Ethernet
ports. Figure 3-13 shows the Ethernet LAN cable connected to the shelf-controller Ethernet
interface for out-of-band management.

Installing or replacing slot cards
Before installing a slot card, make sure that the software running on the sy stem supports the
card. This is particularly important for a new card. If the card is not supported by your current
software, you must upgrade your system software before you install the card. If you do not
upgrade the system software first, the card may not function properly.
Installing a MAX TNT Chassis
Installing or replacing slot cards
For information about s oftwa re r equi r e d fo r a par ticu la r sl o t ca rd an d fo r up grade instructions,
see the release notes. For information about loading software on the MAX TNT unit and
recovering from a failed slot card installation, see the APX 8000/MAX TNT Administration
Guide.
If your package includes slot cards that are not already installed in your unit, insert the cards
now.
Identifying slot cards
Some early slot cards produced for both the MAX TNT and APX chassis have long lock
screws that extend about 3/16 inch (0.48cm) from the front panel. Slot cards originally
produced for only the MAX TNT chassis have short lock screws that extend about 1/16 inch
(.16cm) from the front panel. Slot cards currently in production for both chassis have medium
length lock screws that extend about 1/8 inch (32cm) from the front panel. Figure3-15
illustrates the three types of lock screws. The procedure for installing long- lock- scr e w slot
cards in a MAX TNT chassis differs from the one for installing short and medium length
lock-screw slot cards.

Connecting a MAX TNT unit’s E1 lines to the WAN
When connecting your E1 lines, keep the following points in mind:
•Use cable that is specifically constructed for transmission of E1/PRI signals (CCITT G700
series recommended).
•A MAX TNT unit can connect to any DPNSS access point on a PBX or directly to E1
digital services. The unit can also connect to G.704 framed leased (nonswitching) services
for 75-ohm connections.
•When an the E1 line is installed, the screen of the transmit and receive coaxial cable must
be earthed at one end of the line only. Links (jumpers) are provided on the unit to earth the
coaxial screens. The default position of the grounding links on the network line interface,
when used with coaxial cable adapters, is on the tran smit side (Tx) for 1680Kbps network
operations.
•The maximum distance between the E1/PRI WAN interface equipment and the
MAX TNT unit should not introduce attenuation of more than 6dB, when measured at half
the maximum data rate (1024Kbps). Also, the cable must have a root F characteristic.
Connect the MAX TNT unit’s port either directly to the E1 line or through other network
interface equipment. Figure A-6 shows an example.

Series56 Digital Modem cards
The Series56 II and Series56 III digital modem cards provide 48 modems in a single-height
slot card that can terminate both modem and HDLC calls. However, the Series56 II and
Series56 III cards can process only calls that use a single DS0. These cards cannot process data
streams that span multiple DS0s of the same T1 or E1 interface. For this reason, Frame Relay
connections cannot use the Series56 II or Series56 III slot cards, but must use the Hybrid
Access cards instead. Series56 II and Series56 III ports appear in the output of both the HDLC

Ethernet interface specifications
The MAX TNT Ethernet interfaces support the physical specifications of
IEEE l802.3 with Ethernet 2 (Ethernet/DIX) framing.
Supported Ethernet types
MAX TNT units can support any of the following Ethernet interface types:
•10BaseT (unshielded twi sted pai r): Twisted-pair Ethernet and IEEE 802.3 (10BaseT) with
an RJ-45 connector
•100BaseT (unshielded twisted pair): Twisted-pair Ethernet and IEEE 802.3u
(100BaseT) with an RJ-45 connector
•AUI (attachment unit interface): Standard Ethernet and IEEE (10Base5) with a 15-pin
AUI connector
Required equipment
To install an Ethernet interface, you must have the appropriate equipment for the type of
interface to be installed.
10BaseT/100BaseT
For a 10BaseT or 100BaseT connection, you need a twisted-pair Ethernet cable terminated
with RJ-45 modular jacks.
Use an EIA/TIA 568 or IEEE 802.3 10BaseT cable. Some installations require a crossover
cable (for example, when connecting directly to the Ethernet port of a PC).
AUI
For an AUI interface, you need the appropriate transceiver and transceiver cable.
T1/PRI interface specifications
Specifications for a MAX TNT unit’s T1/PRI interface include channel service unit (CSU)
requirements, specifications for the cables and the plugs available for the unit’s WAN
interfaces, the pins to be used on the WAN ports, and the WAN switched services that are
available to the MAX TNT unit.
B-2MAX TNT Hardware Installation Guide
T1/PRI CSU requirements
Your T1/PRI requirements depend on whether a T1/PRI port on the MAX TNT unit is
equipped with an internal channel service unit (CSU).
Port with internal CSU
If a T1/PRI port on the MAX TNT unit has an internal CSU, you can connect the port directly
to the metallic interface of the WAN. To avoid harming the WAN, you must contact your
carrier for approval before installation. Once you install the MAX TNT unit, you must notify
the carrier before disconnecting the unit from the WAN. If you disconnect or turn off the unit
without prior notification, the carrier might temporarily discontinue your T1/PRI service.
A MAX TNT unit’s internal CSUs are compatible with wet-loop and dry-loop T1/PRI lines
and with span-powered or wet-loop powered T1/PRI lines.
Port without internal CSU
A T1/PRI port of the MAX TNT that does not have an internal CSU cannot connect directly to
the WAN. You must connect the port to other equipment that provides the interface to the
WAN (for example, an external CSU). Your carrier determines the correct value for the line
buildout setting of the CSU. You configure this parameter during installation. (For more
information, see the APX 8000/MAX TNT Reference.)

T1/PRI cable specifications
The maximum cable distance between the T1/PRI WAN interface equipment and a MAX TNT
unit without CSUs should not exceed 655 feet (200m). Measure the line length and record it
when you install the MAX TNT unit. You must specify this length when you configure the
parameters in the line’s profile.
Use only cables specifically constructed for transmission of T1/PRI signals. The cables must
meet standard T1 attenuation and transmission requirements. The following specifications are
recommended:
•100 ohm
•Two twisted pairs, Category 3 or better
The WAN interface cables and plugs described in the following sections are available for the

WAN switched services available to a MAX TNT unit
MAX TNT units are compatible with both AT&T and Northern Telecom central office
switches, and can access all T1/PRI switched digital services offered by AT&T’s ACCUNET
Switched Digital Services:
•MCI 56Kbps and 64Kbps services
•Sprint Switched 56Kbps and 64Kbps services
•MultiRate and GloBanD (and GVPN in CCITT countries) PRI network services
Note: MAX TNT units can only access Switched-56Kbps services on a T1 access line or a
Switched-56 line.
For a listing of the compatible switch types, see the Switch Type parameter listing in the
APX 8000/MAX TNT Reference. In addition to connecting to switched circuits, a MAX TNT

Serial WAN (SWAN) cable specifications
A MAX TNT unit’s serial WAN (SWAN) interface supports dedicated connections to the
WAN. Data packets from the MAX TNT bridge or router module can use this interface, but bit
streams from devices connected to the unit’s serial host ports cannot.
The MAX TNT unit’s serial WAN port is compatible with the following two electrical
standards:
•V.3 5
•RS-449/422
In the cable wiring tables that follow, a MAX TNT unit is the Data Terminal Equipment (DTE)
that connects to a Data Circuit-terminating Equipment DCE) device through its serial WAN
port. The unit receives the Send Timing and Receive Timing clocks from the DCE device.
V.35 cable to WAN
You can connect a V.35 cable (TNT-CAB-v35) to the V.35 port of a DCE device. The V.35
cable has the pinouts described in Table B-16.
